Phrasal verb - LOOK




English language is regarded as one of the easiest languages to learn, but some learners may find it quite tricky at times because of  many meanings for one word. Because of phrasal verbs as well. What are phrasal verbs?



a phrasal verb = a verb + a preposition


Phrasal verbs are rather informal, so one should avoid using them in formal pieces of writing (formal letter for instance). But they are commonly used in everyday conversations so it's definitely good to get to know at least those most popular.


Mimo tego, że język angielski uważany jest za jeden z najłatwiejszych, niektórym sprawia on trudności ze wzgledu na wielonaczeniowosc słów. Także ze wzgledu na phrasal verbs (czasowniki frazowe). Czym jest czasownik frazowy? Jest to kombinacja zwykłego czasownika np. look, go, put itp. z przyimkiem np. up, down, through, away ....

Czasowników frazowych powinno się unikać w formalnych formach pisemnych (np.listach formalnych). Za to są bardzo popularne i powszechnie używane potocznie, w codziennych rozmowach. Warto zatem poznac te najbardziej popularne z nich.

Valentine's Day - IDIOMS & Top Ten British romantic movies

Obraz
Love love love... Love is all around - as the British pop band Wet Wet Wet used to sing (yes yes, it's the song from the film that probably everybody knows:'Four weddings and a fineral') :) Love is in the air especially before and on the 14th of February. Some of us love Valentine's day, some hate it saying that this day has nothing to do with love, that it's just an artificial feast invented to earn money.  Opponents claim that people ought to show each other love every day, not only on one day a year! It's hard to disagree with this opinion... But maybe it's not such a bad idea to devote a whole day or at least an evening (let's say 14 th of February) for the one we love? Celebrate our love in a special way...?  What about those who love in secret? Isn't it a perfect day to say the subject of admiration that we love him/her? Send a letter, email or a valentine card? And what about singles who think Valentine's day is only for couples? Definitel
